Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour liquéfier du gaz naturel, en combinaison avec le traitement du gaz naturel pour récupérer des liquides du gaz naturel (LGN). Selon ce procédé, le flux de gaz naturel à liquéfier provient d'un flux dans l'installation de récupération de LGN et refroidi sous pression, de façon à le condenser. Un flux de distillation est retiré de l'installation de récupération de LGN pour fournir le refroidissement nécessaire à la condensation du gaz naturel. Une partie du flux condensé est expansé à une pression intermédiaire, puis utilisée pour produire le refroidissement nécessaire à la condensation du gaz naturel, puis dirigée vers l'installation de récupération de LGN, de sorte que les hydrocarbures lourds contenus dans le flux soient récupérés dans le produit LGN. La partie restante du flux condensé est expansée à basse pression pour former le flux de gaz naturel liquéfié.
